Day 20 A-Z Challenge, T = Tranquilizer (Free Verse)

 ~::~ Tranquilizer ~::~

I’ve never slept so soundly before

I’ve never felt tranquil 

I’ve never felt so complete before

To my fragile heart’s fill

 

I’ve never felt so important before

I’ve never felt alive

I’ve never been in love before

All I did was thrive

 

You came as rain to my flower

As blood through my veins

An antidepressant that calms me

And tranquilizer to my pain

 

Your thoughts give me confidence

They are the wind ‘neath my wings

Your love gives me the strength

To fly higher than all beings..
